Happy Birthday America!!
   We had a wonderful 4th of July celebration with everyone but my dad being up at the lake.  It was so good to see Katy home again, and playing on the jet skis, water skiing, and just enjoying her nieces, brother and sister.  Travis had broken his hand right before they got here, so he was somewhat limited to what he could do, but we all got to know him a little better.  Roxi was sick much of the time, and got some rest. She and Jason tried to celebrate their 12th anniversary, but there was a 3 hour wait where they wanted to go, so just shared a quick meal somewhere else. Mel had to work, so Rob stayed till Friday after playing a round of golf. 
   The girls loved the golf cart parade our association had, and the sparklers were a big hit.  This year Evy got to go on the boat for the first time to see the fireworks. However, our poor dogs were terrified buy all the loud noises. Both Jager and Maddie were trembling, panting, and hiding. It was so sad. They wouldn't even go outside they were so scared. Jager was hiding behind the toilet in the basement. :-(  
    During our celebration, there was a military coop in Egypt.  People there decided they did not want to live under the Muslim Brotherhood rulers anymore.  Made me appreciate the freedoms we so take for granted here in the US. I am so terrified that our country as it was founded, representing liberty for the world is slipping away.  So many people won't or don't realize the harm that is being done by Obama and his socialists friends in power.  I pray that Anni and Evy will still be celebrating the 4th of July with their children!
